great care when lifting and transporting
batteries. For weights above 24 kilos,
lifting aids should be used.
DANGER: Do NOT attempt to remove the
battery lid or tamper with the internal
workings of the battery. Electrolyte is a
highly corrosive substance, and presents significant
danger to you and to anything else it touches. In
